Event Details

The Air Force Half Marathon course is as challenging as it is rewarding! Beginning at the National Museum of the United States of the Air Force, the course heads uphill right from the start before dropping down into the Historic Huffman Flying Field in the third mile. You then make a flat loop through the golf course and then head onto the 844 freeway exiting immediately via an offramp into Wright State University. Moving through the athletic facilities, you then make your way onto Kauffman Avenue which is a quiet road with gentle rolling hills. Now, at mile 8, the course heads up a stout hill back into Area B of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base before a long slight descent.

Head up one last hill by the Air Force Research Labs and the Air Force Institute of Technology before cruising down a large downhill back towards the finish line while being greeted with the entire Miami Valley in the distance. A flat and fast final mile sets the stage for a rewarding finish along a portion of the old flight line under the wingtips of historic aircrafts at the museum’s Air Park.
